How often installations are inspected is up to the owner of the installation, provided such durations do not exceed any regulatory maximums in force. ...
Our question and answer system while letting you do exactly what it says, is much more. It is a dynamic user driven system, where our users not only ask...
The following tables provide quick order of magnitude fault levels for a a range of typical low voltage situations.
A single phase system is perhaps the most common type of system most people are familiar with. This is what people have in their homes and what appliances...
IEC 60947 is the circuit breaker standard and covers the marking of breakers in detail. Any manufacturer following this standard should comply with the...
Just added a page to the tools, which will allow you to calculate the synchronous speed, slip and rated torque for an induction motor. Not a particularly...
Recently I have seen a few interesting articles on viable cold fusion; the combining of atoms at room like temperatures to create boundless energy. Now...
Our IEE cable sizing was wrote a few years ago and had become rough around the edges. I thought it was time to give the tool a service. Unfortunately when...
Problems on achieving maximum voltage drop within an installation come up often. Depending where you live, local regulations will have different limits...
